Abstract
This is a capstone paper submitted to Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts.The paper looks at the historical basis for the belief that Russian values are neither eastern nor western, but something in between - Eurasian. It traces the philosophical roots of the Eurasian idea and lays out how Russian nationalism in the post-Soviet era is built on this same foundation. Finally, it argues that Russian foreign policy cannot be fully understood except in the context of the Eurasian ideology
